Completely Free iOS & Android
How It Works
A little preparation. A big moment.
Set Up Your Team
Create a team, pick your colors, and add every player on the roster. Or import the whole lineup from a CSV.
Pick Songs & Record Intros
Search for each player's walk-up song, clip the best part, and record a voice intro to play on its own or with music.
Search available catalog previews or import a downloaded audio file. You can trim within the available audio; catalog previews are not full songs.
- Clip & Trim
- Pick the exact clip you want. Drag the slider to start from the drop, the chorus, or wherever hits hardest.
- Voice Intros
- Record a PA-style voice intro to play on its own or with music. "Now batting, number 4..." just like the pros.
Hit Play on Game Day
Open Game Mode, tap through the batting order, and each player's configured introduction, song, or both plays in turn.
Game-day playback with voice intros. Mark absent players for this game while keeping their songs and lineup positions.
Completely Free

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my own audio files?
Yes. In the player editor, choose Import audio file from device. Select a downloaded audio file from your phone or cloud storage, then trim it to the part you want. Imported files can use their full available length; Apple Music search results are short previews. Downloads saved inside streaming apps are not regular audio files.
Can I play an introduction without a song?
Yes. Record and save an introduction on the player’s profile, then tap Play in Game Mode. No song is required. The introduction plays once and advances through the active lineup just like other walk-ups.
How are player announcements made easier to hear?
PlatePlaya automatically levels recorded announcements and lowers overlapping walk-up music while the voice plays, then smoothly restores the music. The same processing applies to previews, existing recordings, and new recordings; your original audio is preserved. Results depend on the recording and speaker. Record close to the microphone in a quiet place for the clearest voice.
Does the screen stay awake in Game Mode?
Yes. On iOS and Android, Game Mode keeps the screen awake while the app is active in the foreground, including between songs and while playback is paused. Normal screen timeout resumes when you leave Game Mode or switch away from the app. Returning to Game Mode keeps it awake again. You can still lock the device manually; PlatePlaya never wakes or unlocks it, or changes screen brightness.
How do I skip absent players for a game?
Arrange the batting order and mark absent players in Edit Lineup. They stay on your team with their songs saved, but Game Mode skips them. Reset the team to mark everyone present again.
What is a walk-up song?
A walk-up song is the music that plays when a baseball player walks up to the plate to bat. In the pros, every player has their own signature song. PlatePlaya brings that same experience to youth baseball, little league, travel ball, and softball — any level, any field.
Is PlatePlaya really free?
No subscriptions. No ads. No in-app purchases. No player limits.
What devices does PlatePlaya work on?
PlatePlaya is available on Android and iOS. It works on phones and tablets. Just connect a Bluetooth speaker to your device and you're ready for game day.
How do walk-up songs work in the app?
Choose an available catalog preview or import your own downloaded audio file, then trim the available audio. Record an introduction if you want one. In Game Mode, play each player’s configured introduction, song, or both and move through the batting order.
Do I need a music subscription?
No music subscription is required for catalog previews. Search provides short previews, not full-song streaming. You can also import your own downloaded audio files.
Can I use PlatePlaya for softball or other sports?
Absolutely. While PlatePlaya is designed with baseball in mind, it works great for softball, kickball, or any sport where you want to play walk-up music for your players.
